If a tree falls in the forest...

(by the way, I am making up for my lack of posting for a month - and working from home for a few days)

So, if the Republicans ignore you, can you really be considered a serious candidate?

If so, why is Hillary still running?

Maybe now would be the time to say that if she somehow becomes the candidate (and pigs fly) I will either write in Barack or be voting for McCain. Basically it will all depend on how much she pisses me off during that time. So my money's on McCain since she probably has no hope of not pissing me off royally.

He's ruining it for the rest of us...

Seriously, Bobby Jindal needs to stop. Guy is 36 and cramping my style. Already a State Governor (granted only Louisiana), already on the Leno show, sat next to a movie star (though only Helen Hunt), and already mentioned as a potential Vice Presidential possibility. What are all the other Indian boys supposed to do when their moms start razzing them for only being world-class doctors, business leaders, or pillars of the community.



Really. :)

Car Shopping in Manhattan

So Rob and I went car shopping. Me, because I love cars and Rob, because he is seriously jonesing for a car. However, for this excursion, our significant others weren't shopping somewhere else in Manhattan - just us men. :)

We ended up looking at Infiniti M35x and M45x models (nice, I have to say), though I definitely must say that I am 1) an old fart, or 2) NYC makes me feel poor, or 3) an old fart. Simply put, while the cars were really nice, I didn't see myself with a sudden onslaught of feelings about what I am missing by not having a car. Plus I think that Rob was alternating between "cool car" and "does this make sense". We agreed that the Certified Pre-Owned ones made much more sense. $27K for a year old car that is $45-50K new. Yowsah.

Now granted, if we were at the Porsche dealership, maybe I would feel different and re-discover that "damn I want a car" magic. :) Also, we didn't really test drive the cars - just look at them in the showroom -the equivalent of seeing a picture of a stove or kitchen and not being able to actually use anything.

In addition, with the insane idea that Sundays are not a good time to have car dealerships open - Rob and I didn't really get a chance to see any Bimmers or other cars. Dealerships are dumb.

I'm Back!

Yes, I have a job.

Yes, it sometimes sucks the very life out of me.

Yes, the last month (almost exactly) was one of those times.

Let me tell you - setting quotas for a large sales team, not exactly the easiest (nor most fuflilling) thing you can do with your time. On the flip side, I did get a fantastic bottle of Champagne from one appreciative team! I think folks have started to catch on that they can ply me with booze.

Any how I promise to write more (for all three folks that might check this blog - you can rest assured). Plus, this should be the last time I have to deal with all this quota setting stuff. So you can hear from me consistently for many days from now on (until work comes up with the next life-sucking invention).
